enDanger Den Closing Shop After 12 Yearshttp://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/danger_den_closing_shop_after_12_years987
<!--paging_filter--><p><img src="/files/u69/danger_den_case.jpg" alt="Danger Den Case" title="Danger Den" width="228" height="177" style="float: right;" />We have some sad news to report to the modding community. After being in business fore more than a decade, the water cooling aces at <a href="http://www.dangerden.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Danger Den</strong></a> are closing shop to "pursue other interests." What those interests are remains to be seen, but it presumably won't have anything to do with selling water cooling equipment, PC modding gear, or related items. In fact, Danger Den is clearing out its inventory with a 75 percent discount on all in-stock items, good from now until Monday.</p>
<p>Danger Den announced the news of the online store's closure on the company's website and Facebook page.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>After 12 years our hobby has come to an end. It's time to pursue other interests and Danger Den will be closing its doors. Thank you for all your support over the years, we've enjoyed being part of your modding community.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>~ Dan, Jeremy, Dennis, and Rokk</em></p>
<p>In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dangerden/posts/10151204605440983" target="_blank">followup post</a> on Facebook, Danger Den said its server is "getting slammed" and that it's reviewing every order. Understandable, given the site's popularity and deep discount. That also means many of the popular items are already gone, such as the Torture Rack, an open-air case with acrylic panels.</p>

<p>We'd like wish Dan and company all the best in their future endeavors.</p>

That's the sort of motto you'll find exemplified in old school water cooling circles, the ones where wielding a pre-built kit or self-contained liquid cooler might earn you a wedgie. There's a certain satisfaction that comes from building your own water cooling setup, just as there is with building your own PC, and it's a market still being served by folks like Danger Den, which just announced the release of its highest performing CPU waterblock to date, the DD-M6 CPU Block.</p>
<p>"Danger Den released a CPU block that we are proud of. Improved performance, built like a tank, and almost 100 percent produced in the US. The Top Plate, Mid Plate, Hold Down Plate, Hold Down parts are all machined in our facility or within 50 miles of Danger Den," <a href="http://www.dangerden.com/New-Products/announcing-the-danger-den-dd-m6-cpu-block.html">said Jeremy Burnett</a>, Danger Den’s President. "The hold down package has been significantly improved for the LGA 2011 socket and previous socket versions. It looks great and makes the mounting process simple for the consumer."</p>
<p>The DD-M6 CPU Block replaces the MC-TDX, a long running favorite that now takes a backseat to a newer, better performing, and more reliable model, according to Danger Den. It also sports a new and improved mounting system.</p>
<p>Pricing starts at $75 for the <a href="http://www.dangerden.com/store/dd-m6-brass-cpu-block-lga-2011-1155-1156-1366-775.html">non-plated</a> brass version and $80 for the <a href="http://www.dangerden.com/store/dd-m6-nickel-cpu-block-lga-2011-1155-1156-1366-775.html">nickel-plated</a> model. Both will be available for LGA2011 sockets beginning January 2, 2012, with AMD versions to follow in two weeks.</p>
